Carnival Splendor
Carnival Splendor: Photo tour & ship overview
Snapshot
Carnival Splendor offers a host of innovative onboard features and facilities, highlighted by a 21,000-square-foot health and fitness center — one of the largest at sea — which features Carnival Cruise Line's first thermal suite and thalassotherapy pool covered by a glass dome.
El Morocco Lounge hosts comedy shows, musical performances, karaoke and more. The Royal Flush Casino incites visions of winning, while the onboard jazz club, The Cool, simply says it all without saying a word. And the Pinnacle Steakhouse can be found not only at the height of elegant dining, but at the apex of the ship.
If you list "splish" and "splash" among your favorite terms, there's the Carnival Twister Waterslide. How about floating or swimming around? Carnival Splendor has pools all over the place, including the midship pool featuring a retractable roof that makes any day a pool day.
